Which wax system? Help!

[Fairchild]

The more I look into which wax system to use the more I fret! I learnt with both hot and warm wax (from the good old pot, applied with a spatula). There is just sooooo much choice now that I don't know what to go for. I have had people talk about the 'hygiene' factor with pot/spatula and as this is on their minds I am less convinced of just going for what I know............. Thoughts/help would be really appreciated - what do I go for?

I am personally a pot and spatula fan. I don't actually think rollers are any more hygienic and I am sure there are therapists out there that re-use phd applicators. Hygiene is all down to the therapist and there is no reason why pot and spatula can't be hygienic. It is also more profitable

I have clients who are doctors and nurses and they all say that there is no danger in using a pot and spatula. I've seen therapists not change/clean the heads of their roller/cartridge systems. It all comes down to how clean that individual waxer works.

Go on.....go for the pot and spat. You know you love it! xxx

pot, spat and perron rigott wax all the way!!!
Have you recently qualified? if so can i recommend some extra training, you will feel much more confident. Kim does great training in all aspects of waxing. i did it after 10 years of waxing and learnt loads xxx

I use pot and spatula for smaller areas;
face
underarm
bikini
and a cartridge system for larger areas;
arms
back
chest
legs
switching to cartridge for larger areas was godsent
a)did my back a big favour
b) less mess (as i was dripping everywhere)
c) quicker procedure

this is what has worked for moi.

You just have to try a few and see what is best for you.
I prefer the Hive roller system because it's a hell of a lot quicker = more space for more clients.
It may work out a little bit more expensive but then your booking more people in so your making more anyway.
I do use the pot for things like lip, chin, eyebrows, bikini and underarm but these are quick treatments anyway. I try and convert people to threading on the face as I think it is a lot more kinder to the skin and cheaper for you to do!

Thanks all for your replies. It is more the hygiene side that I am concerned about rather than the speed element (although I appreciate 'time is money'). Reading other threads on waxing, it does seem that the good old pot is still very popular but I have had the seed of it being unhygienic sawn in my head and this put me off a little!

A lot of is it scaremongering. I'm a fact person, so when they show me the evidence, I'll believe it.

It's nothing to do with speed. I use a pot and spatula because you can't get into every nook and cranny with a roller system. xx
